Sibling name ideas for Rowan

[mia91]

I have a little boy called Rowan and would love some ideas for both boy and girl names for baby no.2 please.

I have read a few older threads where people have asked for sibling names for Rowan but I didn't love any.

I like Oliver, Noah and Ted for a boy. We won't use Noah, probably won't use Oliver either (close family member called Olivia) and i'm not super keen on Ollie/Olly. I really love Teddy but DP doesn't (looks like Mumsnet doesn't either!) and Edward or Theodore aren't names we'd use.

I like Molly and Edie for a girl but they're not useable. I also like Thea and Mabel.

I like Thea and Mabel. Other ideas

Thanks everyone!

Lots of lovely names, quite a few discounted only because we have a family/friends child with the name.

I now have some pretty long lists...

Boys:

Austin - what do people think of this?
Oliver
Oscar
Charlie
Albie - DP not sure and doesn't love Albert
Elliot - growing a lot on us
Laurie - really like but not sure on Laurence
Myles
Sebastian
Isaac
Felix

Girls:

Pippa - would probably be our girls name but I can't forget it's meaning in other languages. Phillipa is nice but I want to love the name we put on the birth certificate and I don't love it. Any other options we could shorten to Pippa?
Felicity
Violet
Ada
Ida
Frieda
Ivy
Etta
Margo
Meredith
Lucielle/Lucy/Lucia
Alba
Iris
Mabel
Thea
Willow - love but have seen this picked apart on a few threads!

My neighbour has two girls, Rowan and River, which I think are lovely together

Watching with interest OP as your preferred names are very close to mine!

We also have Milo and Elio on our list, and bit of a wildcard but I'm thinking seriously about Matthew or Mattias (the latter being DH's nationality's version of the former).

@mia91
love Austin!
Laurie I always think looks nice on paper but I grew up with a Laurie and everyone always assumed his name was Lorry like the vehicle😅.

I like Austin a lot, and Rowan and Austin are names that sound good together.

From the rest of your boy list, I like:
Oscar
Elliott
Myles
Isaac
Felix

From your girl list, I like:
Frieda (love this name)
Mabel

I think Thea is a very wispy name.
I don't think you can use a nature name alongside Rowan - too matchy. So though I like Ivy and Willow I wouldn't use them as names for Rowan's sister.

Ida, Ada, Etta, and Margo sound a bit clunky alongside the mellifluous Rowan.

Meredith sounds very harsh to my ear, while Rowan sounds very soft.

Lucy is a bit boring, and juvenile for a grown woman. A bit twee imo.

Suggestions for girls' names:
Cecily (botanical but not obvious)
Sasha
Anna
Lara
Tamsin
Maeve
Cleo
Evelyn
Aphra
Xanthe
Jessamine

Lovely List of names! My favourites are-

Oscar
Sebastian (my favourite)
Isaac
Oliver

Lucy (my favourite)
Ivy
Etta
Iris
Mabel
Thea

I think all the names are nice though - I don’t hate any of them - good luck choosing!

Oscar or Felix.

Primrose could conceivably be Pippa.

Lucas
River
Otto

Austin - fine
Oliver - like but not keen on Olly
Oscar - ok but not my style
Charlie - like it but would put Charles on BC
Albie - no
Elliot - ok but Elliot/Elliott/Eliot. Too many El names popular
Laurie - no
Myles - no but Miles is ok
Sebastian - ok but not my style
Isaac - ok but not my style
Felix - ok but not my style

Pippa - prefer Philippa. You could use Pippa
Felicity - nice meaning but long
Violet - ok but not my style. Too naturey with Rowan
Ada - not keen
Ida - not keen
Frieda - not keen
Ivy - not keen and not with Rowan
Etta - not keen. Ate a...
Margo - not keen
Meredith - horrible
Lucielle/Lucy/Lucia - Lucy is nice. Lucia too complicated. Lucielle looks made up
Alba - not keen
Iris - ok but not my style. Too naturey with Rowan
Mabel - frumpy
Thea - don't like
Willow - ok but not my style. Too naturey with Rowan. Would also rule out Holly, Hazel and Heather.

If you like Molly you might like Polly

I have a Holly and Arlo

My brother's have a Dylan and Albie

We have a Hallie and her middle is Skye.

We also considered:
Ada
Adalyn
Eva
Maisie
Hattie
Emmy

Luca
Reggie
Archie
Henry
Cooper
Jesse
Sonny

Robyn or Rosalyn / Rosalind for a girl, Robert for a boy
